Yep, I'm fortunate. As the saying goes, I can do without necessities, but don't ask me to do without luxuries!

…my old Jetline New York triple flame lighter.

Not sure how long I’ve had it / been using this particular one but it has been rock solid for at least 6-7 years. Had another one but kept dropping it and eventually it stopped working. A little more careful with the “new” one but it’s taken a couple of dives.

I know Jetline was sold a few years ago and reports of the product now haven’t been the best so glad I got mine when it was made by the “old” company.

My Alec Bradley torch. Soft flame table lighter. It sits out by where I smoke. Seems to always work had a few years now. Only filled him 3 times. Decent lighter. I’d recommend

Called the burner. I have a habit of putting lighters in my pocket. He’s big enough I won’t steal him from myself so he just sits out there.

After that I like the xikar single flame jet. Have a few. No troubles yet.

Interesting. All my lighters identify as “She / Her”. I guess yours is “special”. [gonzo]

I have a ton of lighters scattered around but my two go to are the Jetline Bugle single flame torch and a banged up old Prometheus dual flame torch. The Jetline is pretty big and holds a ton of fuel and real easy control and flame adjustment and even has a cigar rest on top. The Prometheus is small but still holds a descent amount of fuel and kind of roundy so it rides easy in my pocket. I also have a big ass quad table lighter that lives on the front porch. I hadn't thought about it, but I think I'll call her Marge.

I had a cheap single flame Rockwell torch. It was a metal case lighter and it lasted for about 7 or 8 years. I’ve bought a few cheap lighters since the filament burned out in the Rockwell a couple months ago. All of them disappointments. I guess I need to bust out the $krilla and pay a grown man’s cigar lighter.

I still have my red Dupont Xtend... which I got at auction here on CBid years ago.

Still works, too.

I almost never take my favorite lighters or cutters out into the wild. The one exception is my Jetline New York triple flame. I have another one stashed away so while I would be bummed if I lost or it somehow never came home with me, I have a replacement. As far as cutters go, the 3 that I have in my cigar accessories bag are all CBid cheapies and again, have replacements in reserve.

Still have mine also. It's about 15 years old now and has been dropped about 2 dozen times, all nicked up but never fails to light. Think I paid about $75 but they go for twice that now.

As my dad told me long ago: Buy quality if you can, you'll never be disappointed.

My Dad told me something similar: Buy the best you can afford. It’s sorta been my basic philosophy in life and really manifested itself when I was 19 years old and looking to buy stereo equipment. But after finally assembling my “ultimate” system, was very happy and never thought once about spending even more money to buy a slight upgrade.

our Dads shared the same knowledge...mine said to always buy the best you can afford...maybe they learned from having grown up during the Great Depression and WWII...

I've added a corollary...or filled in a blank, based on life experience...these words of wisdom don't generally apply to everyday purchases, like groceries or short term goods and services...it's OK to have a meal at Mortons every once in a while, or but not everyday...sometimes Taco Bell will do the trick...

I think they were talking about things that are important and expected to last awhile...cars, houses, tools, electronics, work clothes, shoes, jewelry for the wife

my Dad had his own corollary, and always said: Only buy what you can afford
